The old southern Warm Springs bridge probably needs to be replaced for the widening. Significant Commercial space is reserved at that corner. There's already a cart tunnel there and the power lines jog south making room.

Some of these new bridges South of us include pedestrian/bike lanes across the Turnpike bridges. Not that big a leap to make them cart lanes.
They shouldn’t have to widen the span on Warmsprings, because the existing median gives quite a bit of wiggle room for two more lanes. Do you really see the state spending massive amounts of cash to accommodate cart crossings over a must-have on and off ramp for the state turnpike on 470? It’s not just a bridge with cart paths when you factor in the logistics for such a project.
